Primary Goal<\/strong>: Develop a software tool to predict and compensate drill and fill elongation of metallic and composite airplane wing parts (spars) arising from interference fit fasteners. Validate the compensation with experimental tests and test data from 777x and 787 spars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Broader Impacts<\/strong>: Enable full-scale determinate assembly (FSDA) of large aerostructures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
